Home office or working at the office – what ist he preference of the Europeans?

In times where everything is shifting, in which
things, thought natural in the past, are questioned and in which things, taken
for impossible in the past, are getting possible, it is no wonder that also the
working world is changing a lot. Thanks to the internet and the mobility coming
with it, a new trend named “digital nomads” has evolved within the last years.
The concept of digital nomads is that you can work from everywhere in the
world, as long as you have a proper internet connection to do your work. Of
course, this doesn’t mean that you inevitably have to relocate to another
continent to work free and independently thanks to the internet, which is why
we asked our users whether they prefer to work from home or at the office. One
thing can be said in advance: Our users have never before agreed that much!

The diagram
is not hard to interpret; you can see at first glance that our JOBswype users
in Germany, Switzerland, Austria, the United Kingdom, Ireland, Poland, Hungary,
the Czech Republic, Slovakia and Rumania agree in one opinion: they prefer
working from home! With a span from 67% (Slovakia) to 86% (Rumania) our users
give priority to the flexibility and independency allowed by a home office
compared to the personal contact to the colleagues and the chef. Only 12% (Hungary) to 41% (Poland)
prefer working at the office.

It is elf-explanatory
that both variants have their advantages and disadvantages, nevertheless these
clear results represent an unmistakable direction the working world could
develop towards.
